in Los Angeles I- AUGUST 13, 1955 Farmers Today By Dick Kidson We assume it is not generally known that catastrophic development took place the other day at the Hiram Walker distillery in Windsor, Ontario. Accordingly, we hasten to acquaint the clients with what must have been a miserable day for the official whistle blower at the plant. Seems they have a big steam whistle up there. When it blows in morning, the employees start booze through the main line. When it blows again, they stop.

Makes things pretty simple. Well, the other day, the whistle got the hiccups. Under the circumstances, this is understandable enough. It would let go for 15 seconds, followed by 15 seconds of silence. Older who had conditioned themselves to start and stop at the sound of the whistle were in quite a lather, as you can well imagine, A whistle with the hiccups can throw things out of kilter pretty quick.

After an hour or so of fits and starts, the whistle went on a real bender. It blew continuously for five straight minutes. Anyone who has been within earshot of a steam whistle can appreciate what a situation like this can do to the nervous system. bottling department solved, Finally, an unsung hero in the problem by jamming a in the whistle. We have no idea what brought about this disturb.

ing state of affairs, but suspect that a playboy plumber hooked up the whistle to the bourbon pipe and set it off on an awful binge. This has nothing at all to do with THE FARMERS MARKET at Third and Fairfax. We have a lot of things over here, but no whistles that go off halfcocked. This is a good time to brighten the summer menu with a shot of tasty raspberries. The kind avail.

able at the produce stands in THE FARMERS MARKET, which automatically stamps them as the very best to be had. These are colorful berries. They may be used in a number of ways. In jams, baking, fruit salads, as a breakfast starter or a dinner dessert. They add color and zest to any meal.

In fact, we could get pretty enthusiastic about raspberries if it weren't for those darned seeds. Both black and red raspberries are grown commercially in California, Oregon and Washington. Gives US quite an edge on the rest of the country. In selecting them, be sure to choose those with bright color. The ones that are clean and fresh in appearance.

The individual berries should be plump, have a solid, full look about them and no little green caps. Berries with caps attached may be immature. Takes an expert with a real sense of touch to pick these babies properly. Don't try it. Get some at the produce stands in THE FARMERS MARKET at West Third and Fairfax.

You'll find them a real mealtime treat. FARMERS MARKET SHOPPING HOURS 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Daily except Sunday West Third and Fairfax Twining Sees U.S. Ahead Air, Urges Alertness Chief of Staff Warns Convention Against Complacency Through Easing of Cold War BY MARVIN MILES, SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.

sia- ahead- the kind spects, but the apparent could lull the nation into Gen. Nathan F. Twining, USAF Chief of Staff, thus gave thoughtful pause delegates attending ninth annual Air Force Association convention at the Fairmont Hotel. "If we lose the battle for peace," he said, "it will not be because United States air power failed, but because the United States failed its air power." Praises. Proposal The ranking Air Force general praised President Eisenhower's proposal to exchange facilities with Russia for aerial photography and said that if the proposal is accepted, the USAF will enthusiastically devote its energies to make the idea work.

"Even the Air Force bases where we are now standing 24 hours vigil against a possible Soviet attack would conceivably be made available to the Soviets for this he declared. "But while we seek better ways to safeguard peace, we are determined to maintain our strength until mutually dependable systems for reducing armaments, have been worked out," he continued. "The Russians have shown the world that they too have learned the 'air power lesson all too well, that Russia has become a modern, powerful air arsenal. a "Just last week- -only days after Geneva--the Soviets resumed testing of nuclear weapons," he went on. "It is clear that Geneva must be weighed against Moscow.

It is also clear that although air power has been the motivating force behind the quest for peace, it is a force we must keep if we are to have Production Accelerated Production schedules, he said, are being accelerated on two new fighters, the Lockheed F-104, which he described as the fastest, highestflying fighter in the air anywhere, and the McDonnell F- 101 Voodoo. He added that the B-52 bomber program has also been pushed up to the point where conversion from the older B-36s will be a full year ahead of schedule. Gen. Twining, commented on the stability, in the Air Force and recalled that the planned size of the USAF has changed eight times in the last six years, going from 66 to 58, then 48. then 42, 143, 120 and finally wings, 137 wings.

The latter goal, in force for the past two years, has brought comparative stability to the Air Force but not inflexibility, he declared, adding: "We all know that a 137- wing Air Force is not a permanent solution to our air power needs." Period of Danger The general warned that the progress to date could make the coming years a period of great danger. The progress we have made must not be confused with the strength we need, he said.

(near Santa Monica) OL. 2-2278 Mother and Youth Jailed as Baby Fights for Life Both Booked on Child-Beating Charges; Burns and Bruises Cover Infant's Body A Compton mother and the 17-year-old youth police said she was living with were held in Compton Jail yesterday while a 13-month-old baby, its battered body spangled with burns and bruises, fought for life at General Hospital. Mrs.

Doris Irene Miller, 20, and Gale Moore, 17, were booked on felony child-beatling charges late Thursday after Mrs. Miller took her daughter, Bobbi Kay, to a Sun Valley Hospital for treatment. Injuries Listed The child was moved to General Hospital where a list of the blond infant's injuries covered a full page of a hospital report. Doctors said the child suffered a possible skull fracture, possible concussion, two blackened eyes both swollen shut, bruises across the face and back, multiple old and new bruises on the arms and legs and numerous burns, possibly inflicted with a lighted cigarette, on the hands and feet and lower trunk. The child's condition was listed as critical.

Compton police said the new injuries were inflicted Wednesday, Mrs. Miller, according to police, said she returned Wednesday afternoon to find the injured child in the house with young Moore. The Moore youth assertedly told Mrs. Miller that the baby was injured when she fell. But Compton police said yesterday that the youth admitted he "cuffed" the curly haired girl.

Police continued to question him about the infant's other injuries. Released as Outpatient The new wounds were inflicted, police said, on the same day that the child was released from General Hospital where it had been confined for five days while undergoing treatment for similar injuries. On Aug. 5, police said, Mrs. Miller and young Moore took the baby to the hospital where it was admitted as Bobbi Kay Moore.

The pair told doctors that the child was injured when it fell onto the floor of the couple's car when the automobile made a sudden stop. After the stop, the pair said they told doc- Opening Tonite DASSIES LOMAN BANQUETS LUNCHEONS Ciro's Show Girls Complete Accommodations Fashion Show 25 to 650 Facilities The Famous DINNERS FROM $3.55 Arrangements can be made for your group to see our fabulous floor shows and dancing ot no HO. 2-7211 increase in price.

Certainly not the official involved, because he then would be able to pass on his own acts, to seal up his mistakes, to avoid controversy. The judge must be the public and the newsmen who are the public's agents.

can is only properly one be question asked in determining whether to withhold information: Does it jeopardize the security of the United States?" Koop stressed that he did not advocate the abolishment of all restrictions, acknowledging that there are matters of the highest security which must be kept secret. "But I do advocate that these should be kept to a mininstead of a maximum." he concluded. Wordy Birdie Better Go Home, Quietly Talented Timothy is a missing blue parakeet whose very talents may contain the seeds of destruction. Timothy's owner, Mrs. Mary McIntyre of 6817-C Hollenbeck Huntington Park, offered a $50 reward after the bird flew out into the world last Monday.

Mrs. McIntyre said Timothy has a vocabulary of 400 words and will sing "Davy Crockett" at the drop of a coonskin cap. But worst of all, according to Mrs. McIntyre, is a phrase Timothy learned in the safety of the McIntyre home. The phrase? "Here kitty, kitty, kitty."
